Typical Satnav addicted courier. If you were to check on an 1852 Ordnance Survey map you would discover that the hamlet of Bawn was situated to the north-west of the junction of modern day Bawn Drive and and Butterbowl Drive. It now has a 1950’s housing estate built over it.
You might think that that’s Farnley but the ‘Network’ gazetteer, being based firmly on 1850’s technology, knows that it’s Bawn.

See – my 1852 map beats a satnav every time.
